what would happen if you tried to circumnavigate Middle Earth with one elf on your boat
dragon time
Legolas and Gimli do have a go at it
dragon time
I like to think they made it
Quinneapolis
but the world is flat for legolas
dragon time
Oh wait circumnavigate
dragon time
Hm
dragon time
Maybe you would need multiple elves to balance out
Quinneapolis
the reach the edge (for elves) and legolas just falls off the boat
ShootingXC
just clips through
Gabiluzbad
the earth is WHAT
Quinneapolis
the curvature of the earth doesn't exist for elves
Quinneapolis
canonically
Gabiluzbad
what
Gabiluzbad
the fuck
Quinneapolis
so they can see over the horizon
Gabiluzbad
Is that why they needed Legolas' elf eyes in Rohan?
Vehrec
you can do it if you go east not west
Vehrec
you might run into lands that didn't exist when the world was created, but the undying lands are to the west, not the east
Vehrec
so you can sail east indefinately and miss the elf off-ramp
dragon time
Ok so elves can canonically steer other beings into the flat part into the undying lands they bring Frodo and Bilbo over so if the elf is steering then they probably do end up sailing over the edge but also
dragon time
Worlds pretty deep
dragon time
That's how you get dwarves digging and so on
pastel ranma
So what we're saying is that elves are Middle Earth's speedrunners and do an out of bounds glitch.
Quinneapolis
so elves known about the Secret West
dragon time
Yeah
Quinneapolis
so you want an elven navigator if you're trying to speedrun it yeah
dragon time
I think if the elf isn't steering the boat they stay in the boat but they tend to tip over like gravity isn't where they expect it to be
